The white Georgia man who, along with his son, is charged with murdering unarmed black jogger Ahmaud Arbery had a past connection to the victim — he investigated him when he worked for the district attorney’s office, according to a new report.
Waycross Judicial Circuit District Attorney George Barnhill revealed Greg McMichael’s ties to the victim in a letter recusing himself from the case — because his own son had a connection to Arbery, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
McMichael, 64, a former Glynn County cop who worked as an investigator in the Brunswick DA’s office, helped prosecute Arbery in the past, Barnhill said.

Oh, wait....so now we find that the "totally innocent jogger" has been on probation for gun law violation, and recognized from surveillance videos.
I said I would wait, and I will wait longer.
My bet is that there is a LOT more to this story than the BLM troublemakers want to come out.

#3, one of the men who shot him said that he recognized him from surveillance video. If he had gone to the police with that information, it would be significant. With the current information that he knew the victim from interactions which predate this by several years it suggests that he went hunting for him, which makes me skeptical of the shooters' motives.
However, considering the BLM people already involved in this, I am waiting for more information before reaching a conclusion. This article makes the whole thing murkier. The previous record of the victim makes him more likely to be the burglar the shooters thought he was. On the other hand, the previous interaction between one of the shooters and the victim make it look more like a lynching.

Will the cops arrest black protesters for violating "social-distancing" edicts, like they do whites?

The plot thickens. The story is out and the way it was portrayed at first will be all that is seared in the minds of the vast majority of people forever.

Remember that Saint Treyvon was originally said to be a 'black kid' who was visiting a friend, and was viciously attacked and shot dead by a vigilante for no reason except being black. And "that poor black boy" was calling out for help just before he was murdered. ALL LIES, 100% of it.
Always keep the fact that the original reports on the Zimmerman-Martin story were total fabrications and that the lawyers for Martin hired a fraud to pretend that she talked to him on the phone, to lie on the witness stand in court.
I don't believe a word of what the Enemedia says, and videos can be very misleading when you only see part of what happened. I will wait a while more.
IMO, so far the BLM folks have had the Enemedia pumping their story, wait for some facts. Never trust the Enemedia.

MSM will certainly use this to try and distract from the criminal revelations coming out regarding the obama mafia destruction of General Flynn and the attempted coup d'etat on our duly elected president.. The little tin-pot African dictator wannabe thought he would get by with it but the truth is finally coming out. Thank you, lawyers representing General Flynn, Judicial Watch, et.al.

Continuing on from #8:
I just saw on Fox News (Harris Faulkner) that his family has hired Benjamin Crump! Next, the Revrun Al will appear.
Just another dindu nuffin who was turning his life around. . . Looking at the video, he was trying to take away the shotgun. Gee, who else whose family was represented by Benjamin Crump was trying to take away a firearm when he was shot???

As always, we will be waiting for more information as time goes on. Still no information about whether or not he was actually involved in the burglary, which is troubling me. Nevertheless, this smacks of vigilantism which I don’t like. Why are you taking off in a pick up truck with guns in your hand? One guy in the bed of the truck holding a gun? Even if the guy was involved in the burglary, that doesn’t seem okay to be barreling down a residential street with guns drawn. Why not wait for uniformed police officers? This one seems prosecutable to me. Just because he got in trouble on the past doesn’t mean that he committed a burglary and doesn’t mean that citizens should be able to chase him down with guns drawn. I have real questions about this one.

Make sure that "white" appears in the first sentence, as the MSM has a habit of doing with "black," "muslim" and "democrat."
Methinks that Ahmaud is not the clean, innocent model citizen that he was portrayed as in the initial reports. The facts eventually will emerge as they did with Treyvon, Michael Brown and Jussie Smollett but the conclusion will not shock anybody.

This is a very comprehensive article. I had not read much about this before.
The young man had some offenses as a juvenile and was given probation. I can’t see how that would be sufficient justification for his being shot down on the street by civilians years later...

I am with those who will wait for more details. They always do seem to come out.
No, this will not distract from what is going on with the unmasking of the FBI officials and their infamous deeds...

They were being vigilant because of numerous break-in's and thefts in the area. I'm wondering if those crimes are still being committed...?

If Crump is involved, as reported by #10 ( I am not doubting it) then you can be CERTAIN that the stories told are all fabrications.
And Crump HIRED A FRAUD to lie to investigators and lie in court. Crump should be in prison himself for this fraud, obstruction of justice.

Good or bad, eventually, all things do catch up to you. That goes for the jogging thief and a hunting duo.

That shooting has nothing to do with President Trump.
Those two shooters are so far out in left field as far as the law goes, that there is no way they are going to escape homicide convictions. They were not police officers, but they knew the black jogger’s identity, as the older of the two when he was working in local law enforcement there years ago had investigated the jogger for past criminal offenses. So the jogger could easily be found and arrested by the police later on.
Clearly what the two men should have done, is while keeping the jogger in view, they should have called the police on their cell phones, made a report, and kept the police informed of the jogger’s location until the police stopped and contacted the jogger. In the South two White men jumping out of a pick-up truck in civilian clothes with a shotgun confronting a Black man is historically bound to engender resistance, and sometimes death, as happened during this incident.

If I'm out jogging on a public road and 2 guys with guns try to stop me, I'm going to fight for my life. I'm the one who has the right to fear for his life and fight in self defense, not them.

He is still dead. From this point on, we may never know the truth, but it seems premeditated at first glance.

My comment has to do with the usual one-sided racial aspect of the news media.
'white" (killer) is the second word in the story, "black" (victim) is farther along in the first sentence.
If the races had been reversed, they would NOT have been mentioned.
....If I had a DIME for each time I had to look at the photo to confirm that the perp was black and the victim was white....

#4, #21;
If these guys had testimony against Arbery, they should have gone to the police. That's what they are there for and McMichael, having served as an investigator for the police, would know that. Is there any proof they tried that and the police refused to follow up and they felt frustrated and had to "take the law in their own hands"? (And considering how the law in that county handled the shooting, I'm sure they would have been happy to follow up on any evidence McMichael might have had.)
Even a person who was put on probation in high school and even managed to violate that probation with a non-violent crime, has the right to job in his own neighborhood and defend himself against two yahoos jumping out of a pickup truck with a shotgun. (Look at the pictures of the McMichaels'. No matter what color you are, how would you feel if those two came at you in this situation?)
Seems to me there is something personal going on between the families involved here.
